Jalandhar, July 2

A Rama Mandi police party seized 100 boxes of illicit liquor and nabbed four persons. The suspects have been identified as Baljit Singh, Praveen, Ranjit Singh and Harpreet Singh.

The police said while they were on a routine checking near Dhilwan chowk, they saw two vehicles coming from the Hoshiarpur side. When they signalled the drivers to stop for checking, they drove the vehicles in the opposite direction. The police, however, managed to stop them by putting barricades on the road.

The police said during the checking of vehicles, they recovered 100 boxes of illicit liquor. Police officials said the vehicles had been impounded. A case under Section 61 of the Excise Act and Sections 420 and 34 of the IPC had been registered against the suspects at the Rama Mandi police station.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
